insidethemindofthefraudster=== Key note: Inside the mind of the fraudster, by Jan Joris Vereijken (Chief Security Architect, ING) ===
Abstract:
When we talk about banking malware, we typically think of bits and bytes: Zeus variants, field injections, Man-in-the-Browser attacks, or forensic analysis of infected PCs. What is actually much more interesting, is to understand what is driving the fraudster. He’s doesn’t care about bits and bytes, he’s just in it for the money. If we get into the mind of the fraudster, we can suddenly understand many issues much better. We’ll see that authentication is irrelevant, fraudsters don’t want to steal millions, that they hate the mobile app, and many more surprising things your never realized were keeping our poor fraudster awake at night.

Bio:Jan Joris Vereijken holds a Ph.D. in Computing Science from the Eindhoven University of Technology, where he worked on algebraic protocol verification. After a brief stint at Bell Laboratories to work on Software Engineering, he moved to ING, the Dutch banking conglomerate.
In his current role as Chief Security Architect, he is responsible for the security architecture in the 35-odd countries where ING has banking operations.

Abstract:
Today centrally managed Anti-Virus (AV) solutions are used across all enterprises and are relied upon to provide central management, logging and enforcement. This talk presents the journey and the results of a reviewing the security posture of the core components of a few selected managed AV solutions, the central servers themselves.
Critical security vulnerabilities will be presented, covering SQL Injection, Directory Path Traversal and Buffer Overflow.
Particular focus will be given to the different steps required to analyze both protocols and management functionality and covers reverse-engineering, debugging and the creation of fuzzing tools. Who does not want to transform a major managed AV into his private botnet within minutes?

Bio:Jerome Nokin works as a Security Consultant for Verizon Enterprise where he is a senior member of the Vulnerability Management Team mainly focusing on Penetration Tests
and Web Application Assessment. Prior to his role at Verizon he worked in the area of security covering both consultancy and ICT.

Abstract:
This presentation’s main goal is to provide decision makers, architects, administrators and developers with a comprehensive SharePoint security overview. We will introduce a SharePoint security model applicable to SharePoint versions 2010 and 2013. Then we will take a closer look at the use of different types of security principals and their effective use. This will be followed by covering security aspects when implementing and extending SharePoint to meet business needs and will be emphasized by showcasing common security pitfalls with examples throughout the presentation. This will be demonstrated with security down to the “nitty-gritty” details based on actual use cases and tips and pitfalls that have been encountered during security assessments and implementation of SharePoint solutions.

Bio:Jan Philipp (MCT since 1989, MCITP, MCSE) works as a security consultant at n.runs, where he is responsible for design and implementation security assessments of complex global SharePoint infrastructures and solutions for major German and international companies. He has been involved with SharePoint technologies from their inception with Digital Dashboards throughout their many development changes (TeamSpaces, MOSS etc.) to the present day SharePoint and SharePoint Live versions.Alexios Fakos (CRISC, CSSLP) began his career in development as a Software Engineer back in 1999. After seven years of inspired insights in the software industry he joined n.runs to be part of the security team. Alexios is leading n.runs SDL services and he is since 2008 part of the German OWASP chapter. Alexios held presentations at OWASP AppSec US and Germany.

Remote code exection in WordPress: an analysis, by Tom Van Goethem (PhD Researcher, University of Leuven)

Abstract:
With over 13 million downloads, WordPress is one of the most popular open source blog platforms and content management systems. One of its key features is the installation of plugins. These are developed by third parties, but WordPress has to maintain its legacy codebase in order to remain compatible with these plugins. As this codebase makes use of unsafe functions, vulnerabilities may arise, affecting thousands websites - if not more. This presentation will focus on a vulnerability that has been present in WordPress versions up to September 2013. This vulnerability, which may lead to Remote Code Execution, was found by a simple combination of two publicly known elements: PHP Object Injection and unexpected behaviour of MySQL regarding Unicode characters.

Bio:Tom Van Goethem is passionate about web security. After getting a master's degree of Applied Informatics, he enrolled in a PhD at the University of Leuven. As a student with a chronic drinking problem, he still found some time to hunt bugs for fun (and profit).

Everything you always wanted to know about web-based device fingerprinting (but were afraid to ask), by Nick Nikiforakis (Postdoctoral Researcher, University of Leuven)

Abstract:
Billions of users browse the web on a daily basis,
and there are single websites that have reached over one billion user
accounts. In this environment, the ability to track users and their online habits can
be very lucrative for advertising companies, yet very intrusive for the privacy of users.

In this talk, we are going to describe web-based device fingerprinting, i.e., the ability
to tell users apart, without the use of cookies or any other client-side identifiers. We
will explain how device fingerprinting works, who is using, for what reason, and how people
are trying to defend against it today.

Bio:Nick Nikiforakis is a Postdoctoral Researcher at KU Leuven in Belgium. Nick's interests lie
in the analysis of online ecosystems from a security and privacy perspective and he has
published his work in top conferences of his field. More information about him can be found

Abstract:
Tracedroid allows you to upload any Android APK file (i.e., an Android app) for automated analysis. Tracedroid records the behavior of the executed app, such as its network communication, the UI, but also its internal function calls and Java code that is executed. To trigger the app's real behavior, Tracedroid emulates a few actions, such as user interaction, incoming calls and SMS messages, etc. - this will reveal most malicious intents of an app (if any).
During this presentation, I will outline how Tracedroid is implemented and how its stimulation engine performs in terms of code coverage. I will also demonstrate how Tracedroid's output can help malware researchers to gain a better understanding of unknown Android applications during a live demo.

Victor van der Veen is a security consultant at ITQ and holds a MSc degree in Computer Science from the VU University Amsterdam. TraceDroid is part of his master thesis titled ‘Dynamic Analysis of Android Malware’ for which he co-worked with the Andrubis team from Vienna’s iSecLab. His interests are low-level system topics that enhance system security, as well as reverse engineering and analyzing malicious code. His previous work involves the implementation of a (partial) thrust-worthy voting machine and an in depth analysis on trends in the field of memory errors (published at RAID 2012).

Static Analysis and code review; A journey through time, by Migchiel de Jong (Software Security Consultant, HP Fortify)

Abstract:
Static analysis techniques to support code review, not just for security, have been around for a long time. This talk will take you on journey from the early days of computer science to this modern day and age of cloud, BYOD and mobile apps and how the passing of time affected code review and the technology to support it. The takeaways from this session are; Understanding the fundamentals problems that have to be addressed to really get the benefits from using static analysis for code review. Trends in code review. Best practices for code review. What the future holds for code review.
